Boos Rain Down on Hannity When He Suggests Trump Tone It Down

During a town hall in Clive, Iowa, on Thursday, Fox News host Sean Hannity suggested to former President Donald Trump that he tone down his combative rhetoric if he wants to win the 2024 election. The crowd interrupted Hannity and booed the suggestion, with some people yelling, “No!”

“If he could just tone it down a hair, stop a little of the name-calling … that it might help you with swing voters that are needed for you to get over the finish line. It’s already hard enough, electoral vote-wise, for a Republican to win.”

Trump responded by saying that being relentlessly tenacious in the face of the incessant attacks he has endured since entering politics is why he won the presidency, and he’s not going to change his style or soften his approach now. The town hall audience reacted by erupting into applause.

Trump’s Toughness is What Got Him Elected

Even Trump supporters who are disturbed by his recent disparagement of other Republicans must admit there’s some truth to his remarks. If the former president were not as tough as he is, there’s no way he would have won the 2016 election or survived the nonstop onslaught he faces daily.

Critics say Trump is too thin-skinned without acknowledging that few people in the history of the world have endured such around-the-clock trolling, denunciation, and vitriol. So it’s understandable that the former president is often defensive and combative.

Besides, there’s a time to be polite and a time to be angry. Now is not the time to sit back and relax. As Trump observed last week at the Iowa town hall: “We need courage in this country or we’re gonna lose our country.”

Trump Won’t Back Down

“I won an election that was unprecedented, we beat somebody that supposedly had it made,” the 45th president said. “I came into office, and from the day I got in, I was under siege by people that had been in Washington for many years — put in there by many different presidents, in most cases, people that were against me. And if I wasn’t tough, I wouldn’t be here right now, I guarantee you that. If I didn’t fight back, I wouldn’t be here.”

If you’re a Trump supporter, you know that he won’t back down. He’s a fighter, and that’s what we need in our leaders. As he said, “We need courage in this country or we’re gonna lose our country.”

Conclusion

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Trump’s toughness is what got him elected. He’s not going to change his style or soften his approach now, and that’s why his supporters love him. As he said, “If I wasn’t tough, I wouldn’t be here right now, I guarantee you that. If I didn’t fight back, I wouldn’t be here.”
